I just spoke to a transplant coordinator at Saint Louis University. The wait for cancer patients is now 1-2 years not 5! I am 2 1/2 years out, and can be evaluated soon if my darn foot callus does,n't open , needing a dressing. I have to do a ,fast 6minute walk to qualify. Also, I probably need cavities filled. Getting a transplant is expensive,! I have been on PD for 4 years. Cathy explained that pd patients are generally responsible and take care of themselves.
